After having this on draft tonight, i am shocked how highly it is rated. The smell is of balsamic vinegar, and the taste follows in turn. While this is a very tart beer, it is horrendously acetic and undrinkable

Exceptional. Light golden, almost straw color. No head after the first few seconds on the initial pour. Smell is not representative of the complexity of this beer. It smells faintly acidic, very lemony.

But the taste! Lemon, yes! But also gardenia and oysters. It's very tart at first sip, with no hint of the complexities to follow. But after the third or forth, when the taste buds stop retreating from the roof of your mouth, you begin to taste the barest hint of saltiness and floral. Half way through, the distinct flavors of oyster and gardenia are very apparent.

I'm not a huge fan of sours, but this is the barometer by which I will measure all others. Simply the best sour I've ever had.

Pours out a bright yellow, brighter than most berliners. Plenty of haze, comes off wit like, which makes sense since they both have wheat right? Aroma was just a grip of lemon and wheat, uber tart, in berliner terms this aroma and taste were both pretty much 10 on the 1-10 berliner sour scale.

Taste was pungent lemon sour, lots of acidity, but it works. This is a big upping of the sour game, has a wild/lambic like content of sourness. Very light body. This is one of those super light body, low abv beers that will cut the palate fatigue like no other. You can drink this after a bourbon barrel imperial stout and it will cut right through. Good at fests with other barrel, big beers.
